Ingredients

3/4 cup shoyu soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 (2-inch knob) fresh ginger (peeled and thinly sliced)
3 whole garlic cloves (peeled and crushed)
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/2 Maui onion (or yellow onion) (peeled and cut into 3/4-inch wedges)
3 whole green onions (white and green parts, cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

In a heavy Dutch oven or pot, mix the soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together. Nestle the chicken thighs in the sauce, skin side up, submerging the meat as much as possible. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. When the sauce comes to a boil, add the Maui or yellow onion wedges and green onion pieces and turn the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot with a lid and let simmer for 30 minutes. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, gently turn all the chicken pieces over. Cover the pot again and simmer for another 30 minutes.
Check the tenderness of the meat with a fork; if you can easily insert the fork into the meat, the chicken is done. Remove the cooked thighs from the sauce, reserving it, and place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
Preheat the broiler.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the sauce until smooth, then add the cornstarch mixture back to the pot with the remaining sauce and cook over medium-low for 4 to 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Broil the chicken thighs for a minute or two, watching carefully to make sure you do not burn the skin. The goal is to just quickly brown the skin.
Serve the chicken with the thickened sauce and rice.

Ingredients

2-3 pounds chicken thighs
1 cup soy sauce ((aka shoyu))
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon garlic ((crushed or minced))
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
red pepper flakes ((to taste))

Steps:

Combine soy sauce, sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a high-sided saute pan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
As soon as sugar is dissolved, place chicken in the pan. The chicken can be touching but don't over-crowd the pan.
Heat until the sauce comes to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes, turning the chicken over half-way through. The sauce should thicken and reduce as it is cooking.
Remove from heat. Allow chicken to rest 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining sauce (sauce will thicken more upon cooling).

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
¼ cup minced garlic
¼ cup minced fresh ginger
5 pounds bone-in chicken thighs with skin
¼ cup chopped green onions

Boil chicken until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sauce mixture will turn into a rich, brown glaze. Remove pot from heat and let cool 10 minutes.
